Stay woke. Stay vogue.

As a wrap up of my time with the SMUD ACT Program, the final official day was spent on a trip to the the UC Berkeley campus to study the university’s efforts at improving energy efficiency. Indeed, UC Berkeley is a beautiful school that any student would be extremely lucky to be educated in. And of course, when going anywhere beyond a 1 hour drive, taking no pictures just doesn’t do it for me. Here’s a glimpse of everything currently in my VSCO photo library before they are sent off to the grids of Instagram sometime in the distant future. Continue reading →

I’ve been on summer hiatus this week, from 8 to 3:30 everyday. Despite having a reputation and history of being a tree hugger, I first signed up for this program to have that extra line under “achievements” on the upcoming college applications, and considering that I get paid for $450 to be a tree hugger for 5 days, why not, right?

You know how sometimes, when you’re scrolling through Instagram on the weekends or during summer and this feeling of “oh my god what am I doing with my life” hits you really hard?
